The best way to learn backtrack

HI,
Im looking for the best way to learn backtrack and how to use its tools and also to learn command line if anyone could help me or provide me with links or any other info id appreciate it and also im looking for a list of all and most commonly used commands so any help would be appreciated thanks

Re: The best way to learn backtrack

If you're not familiar with the command line, you probably want to get yourself very comfortable with Linux first. My suggestion, install a Linux distribution and use it without a GUI for several weeks until you know your way around the system using only the command line.

For books I recommend "Metasploit: The Penetration Tester's Guide" over "BackTrack: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing." It has more reliable sources, more explanation instead of as much command line output, and also cheaper. Learn the command line if you haven't already, this means a lot.
